Press Release Press Release For Immediate Release Contact: April 29, 2020 Tom Nolan/Francisco Miranda 212-741-2977 [email protected]/[email protected] Avison Young arranges sale of retail condominium at 1683 Third Avenue Upper East Side retail condo situated at the base of The Kent luxury condo sells for $28.712 million New York City – The Tri-State Investment Sales Group for Avison Young has arranged the $28.712 million sale of a retail condominium unit located at 1683 Third Avenue on behalf of the property’s ownership – a partnership headed by Extell Development Company, the property’s developer. The asset is located within the Yorkville submarket of Manhattan’s Upper East Side and situated at the base of The Kent, a newly constructed, 30-story luxury condominium building on the corner of Third Avenue and 95th street. An Avison Young team comprised of Principals James Nelson, Head of Tri-State Investment Sales, Vincent Carrega, Neil Heilman, Director Brent Glodowski and Associate Angela Mulder, represented the owner. The newly constructed property features 12,796 square feet at grade and a 9,767-square-foot lower level selling space for a total of 22,563 gross square feet. The NYC School Construction Authority currently has a long-term lease at the property occupying 11,492 square feet on the ground floor, while the remaining 1,304 square-foot ground floor space and entire 9,767-square- foot cellar were available for lease at the time of the sale. “The retail condominium at The Kent offered the opportunity to acquire a newly constructed retail space in the base of a beautiful luxury Upper East Side property with a built-in tenancy and an in- place cash flow, as well as future upside with the remaining available space,” notes Nelson. “Even in this challenging retail market, Avison Young found that there was significant interest in this investment, driven primarily by the credit of a long-term lease with the New York City School Construction Authority for a Pre-K school, servicing thousands of residential units and young families in the Yorkville neighborhood.” The property features 212 feet of frontage (including 161 feet on Third Avenue and 51 feet on 95th Street) as well as 15 to 19-foot-high ceilings on grade and 15-foot-high ceilings on the lower level. The investment also includes a 421-a tax abatement benefit. The heavily populated Upper East Side neighborhood is an ideal location for any number of retailers including restaurants, shops, medical offices, fitness centers and other retail uses. 1683 Third Avenue is located just one avenue west of the 96th Street and 2nd Avenue subway station serving the Q line and one avenue east of the 96th Street and Lexington Avenue subway station servicing the 6 line.

  • Sidewalk Clock, 1501 Third Avenue and the Proposed Designation of the Related Landmark Site (Item No
    Landmarks Preservation Commission August 25, 1981, Designation List 147 LP-1169 SIDEWALK CLOCK, I501Third Avenue, Borough of Manhattan. Manufacturer: E. Howard Clock Company. Landmark Site: The portion of the sidewalk on which the described improvement is situated adjacent to Borough of Manhattan, Tax Map Block 1530, Lot 47. On May 13, 1980, the Landmarks Preservation CoIIIDlission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Sidewalk Clock, 1501 Third Avenue and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 41). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Four witnesses spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in opposition to des ignation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS One of the most important and essential parts of New York's historical fabric is its "street furniture" -- Jiamp posts, street clocks, sign posts, and benches that enhance and maintain the intimacy and scale of neighborhood blocks. Perhaps the most striking of these street amenities are the oversize cast-iron post or sidewalk clocks that proudly dominate city sidewalks. These clocks proliferated in American cities well after the turn of the twentieth century but many have since fallen prey to automobile accidents and sidewalk ordinances. One of the few that existsin New York t oday is the clock at No. 1501 Third Avenue. Introduced in the 1860s, cast-iron street clocks we re popular both as everyday conveniences and as novel advertising devices. A small business concern that stayed in the same location year aft er year would buy a street clock and ins tall it directly in front of the store, often painting the name of the business onto the clock face.

Walk with FRIENDS as we tour some of the cultural and architectural sites that make the Upper East Side such a distinctive place. From elegant apartment houses and mansions to more modest brownstones and early 20th-century immigrant communities, the Upper East Side boasts a rich history and a wonderfully varied built legacy. With this guide in hand, immerse yourself in the history and architecture of this special corner of New York City. We hope you become just as enchanted by it as we are. FRIENDS’ illustrated Architectural and Cultural Map and Guide includes a full listing of all of the Upper East Side’s 131 Individual Landmarks. You can find the location of these architectural gems by going to the map on pages 2-3 of the guide and referring to the numbered green squares.

  • Pomander Walk
    Landmarks Preservation Commission September 14, 1982, Designation List 159 LP-1279 POMANDER WALK, Numbers 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22, Pomander Walk, 261, 263,265,267, West 94th Street, and 260,262,264,266,270,272,274, West 95th Street, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1921; architects King & Campbell. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1242, Lot 10 in part excluding the land on which the Healy Building at 2521-2523 Broadway is situated. On February 9, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of Pomander Walk (Item No. 10). The hearing was continued to April 6, 1982 (Item No. 6). Both hearings were duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. A total of 71 witnesses spoke in favor of designation at the two hearings. There were four speakers in opposition to designation. In addition, the Commission has received many letters and p~titions in support of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Pomander Walk extends through the middle of the square block bounded by Broad­ way and West End Avenue, 94th and 95th Streets, on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The complex is composed of sixteen two-story houses facing the private walk and ninethree-story and two two-story buildings facing onto the street. Pomander Walk has a unique sense of place; secluded from the street, the walk is a delightful world of picturesque dwellings replete with half timbering, gables, and other ver­ nacular Tudoresque embellishments. The almost magical atmosphere created by this small residential enclave was very much the intention of Thomas Healy, who in 1921, commissioned the architectural firm of King & Campbell to design a residential com­ plex that would recreate the village atmosphere of Lewis Parker's then popular period comedy, Pomander Walk.
